Yes, a B.Sc student with a 3-year program can potentially get an M.Tech course without doing an M.Sc or other PG degree by qualifying the GATE exam, which allows admission to M.Tech programs based on their bachelor's degree in science, provided they meet the specific eligibility criteria of the chosen M.Tech program and institution.
Hello Sundaram,
No, a B.Sc. (3-year) student is not directly eligible for M.Tech through GATE. Most M.Tech programs require a B.Tech/B.E. degree or an M.Sc. (for science-related fields) .
However, some IITs and IISc offer M.Tech or interdisciplinary courses for B.Sc. (3-year) students through their M.Tech (Research) or MSc-PhD programs , but eligibility varies.
A better route is to pursue an M.Sc. first and then apply for M.Tech via GATE. You can check individual IITs’ eligibility criteria for exceptions.
